Occupation Times, Drawdowns, and Drawups for One-dimensional Regular Diffusions
نویسنده
چکیده
The drawdown process of a one-dimensional regular diffusion process X is given by X reflected at its running maximum. The drawup process is given by X reflected at its running minimum. We calculate the probability that a drawdown precedes a drawup in an exponential time-horizon. We then study the law of the occupation times of the drawdown process and the drawup process. These results are applied to address problems in risk analysis and for option pricing of the drawdown process. Finally, we present examples of Brownian motion with drift and three-dimensional Bessel processes, where we prove an identity in law.

Credit Default Swaps Drawup Networks: Too Interconnected to Be Stable?
We analyse time series of CDS spreads for a set of major US and European institutions in a period overlapping the recent financial crisis. We extend the existing methodology of ε-drawdowns to the one of joint ε-drawups, in order to estimate the conditional probabilities of spike-like co-movements among pairs of spreads. After correcting for randomness and finite size effects, we find that, depe...
متن کاملContracts on Maximum and Average Drawdowns or Drawups
Risk management of drawdowns and portfolio optimization with drawdown constraints is becoming increasingly important among practitioners. In this paper, we introduce new types of contracts which depend on the maximum drawdown or on the average drawdown. Trading drawdown contracts would address directly the concerns of portfolio managers who would like to manage them. The maximum or the average ...

Drawdowns (loss from the last local maximum to the next local minimum) offer a more natural measure of real market risks than the variance, the value-at-risk or other measures based on fixed time scale distributions of returns. Here, we extend considerably our previous analysis of drawdowns by analyzing the major financial indices, the major currencies, gold, the twenty largest U.S. companies i...
متن کاملFormulas for stopped diffusion processes with stopping times based on drawdowns and drawups
This paper studies drawdown and drawup processes in a general diffusion model. The main result is a formula for the joint distribution of the running minimum and the running maximum of the process stopped at the time of the first drop of size a. As a consequence, we obtain the probabilities that a drawdown of size a precedes a drawup of size b and vice versa. The results are applied to several ...
متن کاملParameter - dependent optimal stopping problems for one - dimensional diffusions ∗
We consider a class of optimal stopping problems for a regular one-dimensional diffusion whose payoff depends on a linear parameter. As shown in [Bank and Föllmer(2003)] problems of this type may allow for a universal stopping signal that characterizes optimal stopping times for any given parameter via a level-crossing principle of some auxiliary process. For regular one-dimensional diffusions,...
